Not suppose to take that many but I could. Probably because I'm a regular.

A co-worker wanted me to hook him up but I will let him look at what I got because you could only have one of each.

There was a radio station at the shop. and they had a travia contest going on to win gift cards. the question was who was the founding members of the avengers. pictures was taken and they had t-shirts of lee/john's Justice league for sale.

Man did I hit the jackpot today. I was suppose to get six (the store limit is 3, plus additional ones if you donate a canned good), but my mom gave me her three free ones. Here are the following comics I've gotten:
*Mouse Guard: Labyrinth and Other Stories
*Donald Duck Family Comics
*3 Adventure Time comics (2 I had to pay for because they came out recently)
*Finding Gossamyr
*The Infernal Devices Clockwork Angel
*Spiderman season 1
*Star Wars
*The New 52 (a comic book featuring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman)
*Lady Death the Beginning
*Popeye (I had to pay this one too because it was recent).

Here's the other stuff I got:
*Thor FCBD figure (free at the comic book store)

My girlfriend and I made a day of it, as usual. Got my nephew, headed to the shop, had a blast, gout our comics. Had lunch, went to some thrift stores, then went to see "The Avenger."
Our local shop lets everyone get as many free comics as they want, within reason. A lot of people grabbed one of everything. We got:

I misse dout on the freebies as the only ones left when I got there (about an hour after they opened) were like Spongbob Squarepants and some other kiddie titles. I did take advantage of their discounts though and picked up some old MOTU comics and some Avengers graphic novels.

My store didn't have the mouse guard or the molly danger titles, did pick up the TMNT, Star Wars, Grimm, and Kenshin DBZ titles.

I got the only two things I cared about, Judge Dredd and 2000 AD. The rest were crap.

However, my comic store was having a special BOGO Free on graphic novels, so I have been saving for weeks with the intent to buy Volumes 2-6 of Saga of the Swamp Thing and all they had was Book 2. Even AMazon does not seem to have any of the others instock, which is really p'ing me off because I want to read through the series now!!

Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

I got the Walking Dead, After the Watchmen, and the Steam Engines of OZ. My son got Seseme Street/Strawberry Shortcake, Yo Gaba Gaba
and Marvel Season One. I also took advantage of a big sale they had on everything in the store. Got a Filmation Original He-Man Cell with certificate of authenticity for next to nothing. Also let my son pick out two posters for his room.....he chose the Back to the Future and Ghostbuster Movie posters.....I was so proud......he's 7....lol.

I never lived in such close proximity to SO MANY comic book stores before moving to Ohio. It has become tradition to go to the closet 10 LCS. I enjoy going to different comic shops and buying at least one new book in thanks for the freebees. My goal is to get a full set as it forces me to read that which I normally wouldn't. I have fallen in love with SOOOO many great titles! Unfortunately I got a later start then I had planed so I missed out on a lot of the freebies. I got to a couple places and had a lot of fun with the local Star Wars cosply group, the 501st. I purchased the last copy of SAGA Vol. 1 ($10, such a great price!) and Son of Merlin #1-#3 One shop was having 30% off back issues so filled in some holes in my Invincible collection! I got the #75 Incentive cover for a great deal! Also got the video game Injustice:Gods Among Us for nearly half off at Toys R Us thanks to a Stormtrooper for telling me about the sale!

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).

Disney Fairies, and Steampunk OZ were also not at my store. The last few years we got the whole selection of titles this year we missed some really good ones.
